Understanding
the need for an XML application firewall
An application
firewall is provided as a measure of security for the application. With
such a firewall in place the different services of the application are
protected from unauthorized entry and authentication.

In the
case of an XML application firewall, the functionalities of the XML
application can be offloaded to some extent to the XML application firewall
itself.
Inspection
of the document, checking the authentication for the document, and parsing
the XML documents can be done by the XML application firewall itself,
thus taking the load off the application. This would enhance the performance
of the XML application.
When certain
services like these are separated from the application, the level of
security and the quality of the service can be greatly improved.
Moreover
the team developing such features can concentrate on these parts alone
improving the productivity too. Such activities can also be separated
into a separate hardware device too. This would also improve the performance
of the application.
